Real test method of monitoring and tracking micro system for dangerous chemicals transportation has many disadvantages: long test cycle, high test cost, high test risk and bad reproducibility. Aimed at these disadvantages, a simulation platform which can be used for the simulation test of monitoring and tracking micro system is developed. This simulation platform is composed of motion simulator...

BACKGROUND Lack of information and accurate knowledge about the properties of chemicals and the exposure derived from its use; hinder health and safety measures to protect exposed workers. The aim of this study is to identify the elements that will help us draw a balance of chemical hazards in Spain and register the most dangerous chemicals at the workplace (by sector or field of activity). M...
